DIY Pinata

My middle son Alex has been all about the Nick Jr show "Paw Patrol", so it was no surprise to me when he decided that was the theme he wanted for his fourth birthday party. It was not much of a challenge to plan this party, with the help of Nick Jr's website www.nickjr.com. Here they offered tons of free printable downloads, that really made everything easy and very special for my little boy. There was one thing that Alex really wanted to have at his birthday party, a pinata. We had never done a pinata before, so I wasn't really sure what to expect. I can tell you what I didn't expect was a Paw Patrol pinata to cost more that $50. That was when my penny pincher side kicked in and I decided to make one myself. I spent a grand total of $4 and the pinata was a huge hit. Below are the instructions for you to create your very own pinata.
